Summary
We seek to analyse the appropriation of space by people living in the streets (PLS), focusing on Brazilian cities, from a materialistic, historical and dialectical conception of reality, problematizing traditional conceptions of sense of place. The spaces in the city that need to be appropriated as a condition of survival are the same ones that reject PLS as subjects, and the set of elements they can appropriate and that unfold in multiple senses of place is largely determined by urban social and racial inequalities. Thus, to understand senses of place by this group, we must pay attention to the historical determinations in the process of appropriation–objectivation of PLS. In this sense, because of its power to synthesise the humanization–alienation dialectics taking into account both social structures and the elements of people’s living spaces, appropriation of space is a category that allows us to historicize and pluralize senses of place.
